Great experience - Highly recommend the class with Pablo. It was the first surfing experience for my son and he really enjoyed it. At the beginning they practiced standing up on the suspended board in the shop. Everyone had his/her own instructor in the sea. We’ve received the photos within a day.

Enjoyed surfing in the morning on the beaches of Cartagena - I had a great time surfing in Cartagena. My instructor, Sebastian, was very helpful in giving advice as well as patient in helping me to get up on the board and surfing the waves. I was able to get up relatively quickly and tried to apply all the advice he gave to improve my technique. Surfing is really fun and this company and the instructor were great!

Excellent! - My kids loved the private lessons. They were very polite and informative. The lesson was taught with a great focus on surfing and the kids individual skills. After 1.5 hours my kids felt more confident.

Perfect for First Time Surfer - I had never been on a surf board in my life, and my instructor Pablo taught me everything I needed to know! It was a 90 min one on one lesson where he stayed close by me and my board in the water the entire session. It was actually really great that he stayed close because the help navigating the waters helped me to not fatigue as quickly and I could focus on the surfing itself. After every attempt, he gave me small pointers that I could work on for my next wave. He helped me pick the right waves and would tell me exactly when to paddle and to stand up. As a first time surfer, I was up and riding the waves to shore within my first few attempts. Pablo is a professional surfer himself and was great at teaching. I can't thank him and recommend Poly Surf School enough!

The best option to enjoy a day at the beach - An excellent option for Surf classes, the attention is very good, they take the time to teach and guarantee learning. Plus they are all very funny. There are several drink options on site and good music. The boards are in excellent condition for classes.
